Answer 1

Billy charges $15 to mow a yard. He needs at least $200 for the new bicycle that he wants. Write and solve an inequality to find out how many yards must he mow to make at least $200?

C) 13 yards

Explanation:

Answer 2

yard = y

15y ≥ 200
y ≥ 200/13
y ≥ (about) 13
He must mow about 13 yards

You use ≥ , because Billy needs AT LEAST $200, and so ≥ is greater or equal to, meaning equal to $200 or more is what Billy wants
